Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarlo Torniai is an AI and data executive with over 14 years of hands-on experience translating research-grade knowledge systems into business-scale AI platforms and products across Pharma, retail, mobility and sports. He has led global teams and enterprise deployments—from founding AI functions at Pirelli and Esselunga to pioneering AskAI at Angelini and shaping GenAI platform strategy at Novartis—fusing technical architecture with governance and measurable business impact. Comfortable end-to-end, he moves from vision and roadmaps to implementation, adoption and change management, often designing agentic workflows and decision-support prototypes. His background in biomedical ontologies and early Semantic Web research gives him a distinctive edge in structuring complex knowledge and data for real-world AI. Based in Barcelona, he now splits time between executive training networks and OWITH.ai, an independent lab and publisher that produces the Pharma & Biotech Daily podcast and experiments with AI-first formats. Outside work he’s a data geek and avid squash player who publishes interactive access to his professional profile via an AI “twin.”
